happen next. police say two men mingled with the crowd, placing backpacks with pressure cookers inside that were packed with explosives, designed to cause eath and serious injury. one has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction. if found guilty he will face life in prison or the death penalty. his older brother was killed in a gun battle with police on friday. last year he went to russia raising questions about who he met and was he radicalized there. even though the f.b.i. had spoke tone him they knew nothing of the trip because his name was misspelled. >> he went to russia. how did we not know that. apparently the misspelling of his name was such that he did not pop up in the system. did he intentionally misspell

his name or did the russian airline get it wrong. i don't know. >> this area was packed with thousands of runners and speck taughtors. it will be remembered as one of boston's darkest hours. the barricades are being removed and the streets reopened but it still feels very far from normal. >> a memorial grows by the day. >> i talked to someone this weekend that grew up in belfast and said they are used to this and in the middle east. >> it is sad. i ran the boston marathon in 1990. it is very sad, you know. >> it has been a week of tear and unanswered questions in a country that often feels immune to the outside world, what happened here has unsettled

many in america. a short time ago i spoke to david in boston. david, what was the atmosphere in the city during that moment of silence? >> absolutely electric. i have to say that people are still coming here in fact to this makeshift memorial which is the epicenter for that moment of silence. they have been coming here to make flowers, present teddy bears, gifts, cards, all sorts of things. this is still a city that is very much grieving. we heard the reports about the funerals today for krystle campbell. today there is a memorial service for the 23-year-old graduate student from china who was at the marathon with a friend.

ut it is still a very delicate situation. it is starting to get back to normal. boylston street is still closed to the public. it is due to reopen in the next 24 hours, initially businesses will be allowed back to reopen and i would imagine that we will see normality return here. >> david willis in boston. thanks very much. well, for more on the case against the bombing suspect goes from here i spoke a short time ago with pat who served as assistant attorney general for national security. using a weapon of mass destruction, what is the thinking behind that charge? >> well, it is a federal charge. they wanted the case to be in federal court where the death penalty was available to them. it is a common charge in terrorism cases.

a weapon of mass destruction can be any explosive device and in this case they fit perfectly. >> he will be charged and tried in a federal court, not in a military commission. what will be the difference? >> the big difference is that the federal courts over the last 30 some years had a great deal of experience trying terrorism cases of all types. this case is more likely to go smoothly in the federal court. military commission it is had a lot of trouble frankly getting off the ground. they moved very slowly. because they don't have the history of process and all of the rules that were laid out the way they are in the federal court. >> do you think at this point the suspect will have had his miranda rights? >> what happened today when he was charged, he had an initial appearance before a judge in his hospital room. a judge from the courthouse came to the hospital. he had present a federal public

defender to represent him as his attorney. in the course of the proceedings the judge says you have a right to remain silent. the rights administered to an arrestee were actually presented to him by the judge. >> he has these legal rights, what does it mean for the teams interrogating him. that is the criticism of the system. >> right. did the time period in which he could be interrogated was very limited and there was a possibility he would elect to assert his rights to remain silent. we don't know what happened over the last day or two as he sat in the hospital. now we know he will not be interrogated any further. with the fact of his court hearing there will not be any additional interrogation without his lawyer present. >> he hasn't really been able to speak, how much could have been learned in that period? >> one suspects very little. there is suggestion that he has been communicating via notes but there is little one can

expect was gleaned from him in those conversations, if you want to call them that. >> there is nothing at all in the affidavit about motive. >> no. there would not need to be. it is a crime whether or not his motive made sense, was reasonable or he had no motive at all. >> we did learn about the cell phone. >> the complaint which is a detailed statement of facts lays out that he is seen on a videotape fiddling with his phone and appearing to dial using his phone. shortly after he concludes that call everyone else in the crowd is seen reacting to the bomb. he is the only one that does not seem surprised or alarmed. he coolly walks from the scene. then the second bomb explodes at the spot where he was standing. >> there is another terror

related case in canada to report today. the police there say they foiled a major terror plot supported by al qaeda in iran to attack a train traveling between toronto and new york and arrested two people and charged them with terrorism related offenses. it involves canadian law enforcement agencies, f.b.i. and the department of homeland security. in syria nearly a week of fighting near the capitol left reportedly more than 100 people dead. activists say it could be much higher. an opposition group putting the number at nearly 500. the syrian government said the troops have been carrying out an offensive against terrorists n two districts of the city. >> we are using the state tv pictures of the aftermath of the fighting because the authorities did not allow the

bbc to visit the town. syrian television said local people welcomed terrorists ncluding foreign jihaddists. what is not clear is how many died, civilians and the rebel fighters who are showing defiance by youtube last week. opposition sources called it a massacre. britain condemned. >> the world is not doing enough. the world failed so far in its responsibilities to the syrian people. this is a barbaric way of waging any conflict and should be absolutely unacceptable to the world. >> this is just out of domascus close to the fighting where 120,000 syrians displaced from their homes are sheltering. so many that the u.n.'s monthly food rations for one family are being split between three.

two years ago the u.n. world food program was feeding 100,000 inside syria, now 2.5 million and they are planning on 4 million by the end of the year. millions in this war sometimes fearing both sides. two families, 19 people sleep in this space. >> i worry about the kids. we are all stressed. but we have to be patient. >> what we can't deliver is what they really need, peace. everybody who is living here moved 2-3 times from their homes in the far northeast of this country that come here and all they want to do is go home, kill their land and look after the children and families and lead a normal life. >> attempts of the united nations to find a political

solution have not gotten off the starting line because britain, france and the united states can't find enough problem ground with the russians. even if they could make a agreement there is no guarantee it would work. >> the conflict in syria continues. now to burma where dramatic footage emerged showing police standing by as gangs attack and kill muslims. it shows a shot belonging to a muslim being attacked. human rights groups are questioning whether sanctions against the country should have been lifted. >> looming over burma, violence that targets a minority and threatens a nation's future.

these images were captured last month. mobs ransacked a shop in the entral town. after news spread that a monk had been killed, there was more violence. a man badly burned lies on the ground. the image is too graphic to show. the instinct of mercy overwhelmed by hatred. the police, heavily outnumbered, stand by. on the second day police reinforcements arrive but the killing and burning goes on. a young muslim is dragged out and hacked to death. violence against muslims

erupted last june when thousands were driven from their homes in western burma. w a reports accuses ethnic cleansing of the minority living there. >> what we have found is that the government and security forces are responsible for attacks in which crimes against humanity were committed. what we are calling for is investigation to see who should be prosecuted for those crimes, including matters of command responsibility. >> the government rejects the allegations which came as the e.u. announced they were dropping most sanctions against burma and they told me by telephone she supported the lifting of sanctions. >> you would be aware that there are groups saying it is premature to drop sanctions as there is so much violence in the country. >> i don't think we should link

the economic sanctions to the violence. it has to do with rule of law and other social political problems. we can't rely on sanctions forever to aid the democracy movement. >> the government, opposition and the international community are focused on the presidential elections in 2015. but there is danger in hoping that elections will deliver rule of law and an end to hatred. the forces unleashed can overturn the promise of freedom. >> ethnic tensions there in burma. you are watching bbc world news america. still to come, it is called the iron dome but is the israel defense system all that it is cracked up to be? e will report on the debate. indian police have a second man under arrest over the rape of a 5-year-old girl last week but

that hasn't stopped protesters calling for the police to step down. there are accusations the victim's parents were offered a police bribe. the little girl was attacked in a locked room for more than 48 hours. she was rescued by neighbors that heard her crying. >> a fresh wave of protests after the latest horrific case of sexual abuse. the police had their hands full keeping the crowd at bay, much of the anger directed at the authorities. many here believe not enough has been done to protect india's women despite it being a burning issue for months. >> the government is always saying that we will do something but nothing has happened. that is why this time we have to do something and the government has to take action. >> at this hospital the child is still in intensive care recovering from her ordeal.

after she was abducted and assaulted over two days. two suspects have been arrested. but the government is feeling the heat. opposition parties raising the issue in parliament. >> here outside police headquarters the protests died down for now although the police are still out in force. many people are beginning to ask larger questions and why the authorities are so out of step with the public mood and why no lessons have been learned since december last year. >> when a young student was gang raped aboard a bus in a attack that shook india and led to weeks of protest. the government brought a new stronger anti-rape laws. many believe that little appears to have changed. >> today the u.s. defense

secretary dime israel with a promise. the obama administration is committed to preserving and improving the jewish state's military edge in the region, part of that includes the much talked about iron dome missile defense system. kevin conley reports. >> it is an israel designed american funded break through n military technology. all possibly a kind of optical illusion. iron dome is a missile defense system credited by israel with destroying nearly 0% of the rockets fired at it during the last conflict with palestinians in gaza. not everyone is convinced. because the incoming rockets are invisible to the naked eye a handful of skeptics say we might be witnessing the

missiles themselves self drurkting without hitting anything. >> i don't know exactly what happened. would like to have an answer. how me your infrared videos. >> israel's enemies get the importance of the system. this internet video claiming responsibility for the recent attack ended with a taunting message that iron dome did not stop it. the truth is not many are listening to those voices of doubt. take these iron dome in the south of the country. most israelis just think they work and are making the country safer and stronger.

worry with a wave of a wand rafeal developed the first of its kind cram system. >> there is a lot at stake here. the safety of israeli civilians of course and lucrative export market if the manufacturers claims can be proved. israeli rocket scientists say there is no serious doubt. >> you can't fool all of the people all of the time. it is the sixth or seventh. every time that it is working, losses go down and damage goes own and it is obvious. >> these iron dome missiles filmed by a wedding photographer were believed to protect them from other enemies too. uncertain times across the middle east they hope that seeing is believing.

>> from the iron dome debate to what you know. a play and book about his parents attempt to find him a bride. >> it is a true story of how in 2007 my parents tried to arrange my marriage against my will. i said i am going to make a play and make fun of you because you were so horrible to me. she said if you tell my story in front of an audience they will agree with me and not you. i said fine. get in front of the audience and we will tell our story. ure enough she got on stage. >> are you married. marriage. it is coming at you like daggers. > we get it too.

>> arranged marriage is not that bad. it worked for us so why won't it work for the kids. the very first day you start to love the person. i wonder if i met a lot of people. you know the person so long then you live together and once you get married after five years it is breaking down. we don't know the person. we get in the person and it works for life. >> my parents put an ad in a newspaper in india. i got 150 proposals. this was put together by my dad's secretary. sticky notes for the ones that are most interesting. my bio data, fair, slim, smart, tall. i am all of those things. in my dad's handwritings little notes. email for ravi's info june 22nd, 010.

>> the best things for them but sometimes you are hurting the person. >> what you want is not necessarily what they want. >> sometimes they don't know if it is love or just affection. we feel it is our duty to get hem settled. >> that is good. >> we had a major fight for three and a half hours in our kitchen. even after she apologized she pulled out another girl's bio data. i said wow. it is really never going to end until i get married. the favorite thing in the book and the play is that you have both perspectives present. it is up for you to decide which way that you want to go.
